Access To Information Act

[The Speaker]

The House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion at the third reading stage of Bill C-208.

Following the adoption of the 13th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs on November 4, the division will be taken row by row, starting with the sponsor and then proceeding with those in favour of the motion beginning with the back row on the side of the House on which the sponsor sits.

Then, after we have gone through all the rows on this side of the House, the hon. members on the other side of the House will have their turn, starting again with the last row.

All those on my right in favour of the motion will please rise, beginning with the mover.
